John, Jim and myself took the “Barf Bucket” to our secret location around 8:00 PM.<\/p>\n

The Island Diver anchored by the Avalon while we were en route.<\/p>\n

We submerged.<\/p>\n

I was just going to go towards shore and cover as much ground as possible.<\/p>\n

Visibility really was crappy.<\/p>\n

For a split second I thought about calling the dive, until I started seeing lobsters.<\/p>\n

I ran across a sand shark sleeping on the bottom, a resting guitarfish, a swimming Pacific Electric Ray and pieces of kelp and seaweed that formed the shape of various threats in my mind.<\/p>\n

I was getting discouraged, but finally caught my first lobster half way through the dive, followed shortly thereafter by a second one.<\/p>\n

The boat was never too far away, but two of the four lights had burned out while we were under, so the boat appeared very different when I broke the surface.<\/p>\n

We were the only boat in that area.<\/p>\n

Everyone reached the boat at the same time.<\/p>\n

Jim caught four, I caught two and John two.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

Me and tonight’s lobsters.<\/p>\n

Still being tired from this morning and with conditions sort of crappy, we decided to skip the second dive.<\/p>\n

This morning we saw a group of shore divers and many dozen boats around this area.<\/p>\n

Tonight, there were many groups of beach divers (you can spot their colored marker lights on shore) and only one other boat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
